i let go while bathing dd and she wrinkled up her face and, all concerned, said 'oh no , poo in the bath, mummy'

VJayMerrilyOnHigh · 15/12/2008 19:30

I had really bad wind today, I'm so glad you brought this up girlwithacurl cos I wouldn't have . I had to hold it in until after work, then i just let rip

olivo · 15/12/2008 19:16

OMG, i have hideous wind today and yesterday! for the first time ever, i'll try and be pleased!
girlwithacurl, If AF doesn't get me, i'm going to test on friday, if i hold out that long - those tests are shouting at me from the cabinet..... have to say i'm not too confident though i do feel a bit 'different' to usual. i can't believe how hung up i am on this whole thing.

JingleJools · 15/12/2008 17:07

Yes, being windy is a definite symptom

I had that in embarrassing amounts when I got my BFP in Sept. Had it again yesterday, which made me wonder .... along with the diarrhea - that is an implantation symptom for me

Bleeding on and off - not sure if this a post MC AF or implantation yet

girlwithacurl · 15/12/2008 17:05

Hello!

Fertility Friend says I am 9DPO, so olivo looks like I am 2 days behind you! it says not to test until 18DPO... which is AGES away. Was going to wait until Christmas eve, but am not sure I have the self control! olivo when are you going to test? you have some positive signs at least, I don't have any, except the odd twinge in my abdomen... which I think is probably imaginary

I tried grapefruit juice, it made my feel sick! however if this goes on much longer I might have to just do it... urrggg.

tinselandglittercoveredwincies · 14/12/2008 19:06

Oh, it was just chance that I bought the Tropicana one, I've never heard about it not being from concentrate. We live and learn.

Sorry to hear that AF may be on her way soon, but it not over until she cackles!

VillageMum · 14/12/2008 13:25

tinselandglitter, I can't believe (well, actually yes, I can!) that your mum could be so insensitive about your mcs... people have no idea what impact their casual remarks can have; mine once told me that 'stretching and bending' could cause mc and yes, I've been living bolt upright ever since.

Ladies, I'm certain I'm not pg - at 10DPO this all feels just too much like the runup to AF. Wish it didn't, but it does!

olivo · 14/12/2008 10:12

no stealth, normal grapefruit, i think, at least, that's what i get. it has to be the 'not from concentrate' one though (no idea why but read it somewhere on here )
sorry to hear AF may be coming, chips. fingers crossed for us all that she stays away.

2manychips · 14/12/2008 09:30

Think af on her way to me too,I'm getting my pre af night sweats.

StealthPolarBear · 14/12/2008 08:56

hope not! will keep my fingers crossed for you.
Does it have to be pink grapefruit? I hate the stuff but will force it down if I have to!

olivo · 14/12/2008 08:52

i get the tropicana one too; it's the only not from concentrate one i can find. I actually quite like it too!
So, 10dpo and sore boobs for me - it's got to be AF on its way, hasn't it?

tinselandglittercoveredwincies · 13/12/2008 21:50

Don't think so, although I like the Tropicana one. I'm afraid so, I do actually like the stuff .

StealthPolarBear · 13/12/2008 20:51

grapefruit juice?? Any particular type?

tinselandglittercoveredwincies · 13/12/2008 19:22

Also had vast quantities of EWCM this month after swigging back the gfj for 2 weeks.

Wotcha Jools . Fingers crossed that the hussy-approach works!

VJayMerrilyOnHigh · 13/12/2008 17:23

I totally agree smiley, I just hope I'm pg now so don't have to

OP posts:
smileycat · 13/12/2008 16:25

VJay havn't been that brave yet myself just something I read about but you never know if I get 12 months down the line with no bfp I'll try anything to make it work

VJayMerrilyOnHigh · 13/12/2008 14:08

Hi jools, you've found us . I had loads of EWCM after mc, but I didn't notice it so much this month. Not sure about tasting it smiley but I'm open to anything

OP posts:
JingleJools · 13/12/2008 12:43

Some familiar faces here Hello Vjay, Smileycat, Villagemum and Wincies

Since I am umistakably, painfully Ov'ing right now for the first time since MC (CD33) and I have been seeing more EWCM than ever ever ever before , I have a good feeling about all this , especially since I was a rampant hussy 3 hours before I got the OV pains

I normally get AF at 13DPO, so the witch is due Christmas Day !!

By the way, I am certain that GFJ really really does help - this time round, I've been drinking it for weeks (Tescos pink grapefruit not from concentrate) as I had a real taste for it when PG and, when the hormones subsided, I could still tolerate it so had a glass every morning. I really really (TMI ) have never ever seen EWCM in such abundance !!
